My instinct is that this is probably on the naive side. For instance, we use separation of concerns in our systems because we're too cognitively limited to create and manage deeply integrated systems. Nature doesn't have that problem.

For instance, the idea that we can neatly have the emotion system separate from the motor control system. Emotions are a cacophony of chemicals and signals traversing the entire body - they're not an enum of happy/angry/sad - we just interpret them as such. So you probably don't get to isolate them off in a corner.

Basically I think it's very tempting to severely underestimate the complexity of a problem when we're still only in theory land.
